It's just a few days before Holy Week so I thought of posting these pictures that were taken six years ago, when my friends (Jennifer, Carla and Jonathan) and I decided to spend Good Friday at Mt. Cabuyao in Tuba, Benguet. We started the 8.5-kilometer hike--which is really more of a climb--at five in the morning and reached the peak of the mountain (with peak altitude of 2025 meters) just in time for lunch.

I can sill remember Carla asking, "Malapit na ba? (Is it near already?)" We haven't even had time to reply when we saw the marker. We're not even halfway through!

We were so hungry when we arrived that we immediately unpacked the food we brought - hotdogs, salted eggs, chicken nuggets and rice. And then we had a picnic right there, on top of the mountain, overlooking the city.

Here are the two disk-shaped radio transmitters, most popularly known as the radar, that Mt. Cabuyao is famous for.

And on our way back, around noon, the fog began to creep in.

So how do you intend to spend Good Friday and the rest of the Lenten Season?

what an interesting way to spend the Good Friday...and honestly I didn't notice you at first.i missed salted eggs...yummy lunch you have then :)

me, ever since I spent my Good Friday or holy week inside the house.for my mother and grandmother will not allow us to go out..they say we need to be silent and repent :) it's a good way also to at least spent time for the family and do participate in church activities. Back then I'm looking forward for the Holy Thursday because the last supper is done at the ancestral house of my mother's family.my grandmother then do all the preparation while my mum does all the cooking :) and me do all the eating...LOL!!!

and up until now, in my own family...we never go out and have fun during Holy Week.just stay at home and spend more time with the kids.
